GIS for Local and Community Leaders
On April 25, 2014, the Institute for the Study of Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NREM), Mae Fah Luang University (MFU), in collaboration with Thai Universities for Healthy Public Policy organized a special lecture on “Guideline for Utilization and Managing Geographic Information Systems for the Local Administrative Organizations” at Mae Fah Luang University in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.
The lecture was conducted by Dr. Sopon Chomchan, a Senior Expert in land and soil resource and Mr. Adisak Guntamuanglee, an Independent Researcher. The special lecture focused on environmental surveillance activities such as the project to set up an environmental disaster warning center launched by MFU. The project aims to collect and process spatial and temporal data in order to provide early warning and notifications on haze pollution and other environmental disasters in the upper northern Thailand and the upper Greater Mekong Sub-region.
